Friends

There is nothing in the world that can compare with good friends.

It's the opportunity to let off steam when something has been about to blow. It's the laughing at/with each other till tears stream down your face. It's the free, much needed counseling sessions. It's the inspiration to get up tomorrow and hope to get to do it all over again. Sometimes they have seasons, rarely they are forever, sometimes they burn bright only to fizzle, but I'll take them however they come, and try to be mindful enough never to take them for granted.

Don't get me wrong, family is good. But often you know too much. It's just a whole different thing. Every now and then the lines can cross and you can be both... but if you get tired of friends, you just go home to your family and soon enough, you'll have to have somebody to complain to about your family. Don't be hatin', you know it's true.

Thank you Lord for good friends.
